Throughout our life, at each moment, from each conflict that arises throughout every day, we are given the power to choose. We all face challenges in our relationships and Dr. Whitfield gives us the secret to meeting each challenge and how to make the best choice when faced with hard decisions and irrational emotions. Using the same questions he has asked his patients, Dr. Whitfield asks readers: Do you choose to protect your point of view, your position, and your ego's limited perceptions? Or do you choose humility: open-mindedness, curiosity, and tolerance? Do you choose to play the victim, to persecute or to rescue? Or do you choose humility: to motivate, nurture, and empower? Do you choose separation, or through humility, inclusion? These are the lessons taught in The Power of Humility. Simple, easy to understand, yet life changing, Dr. Whitfield teaches us that by accepting our "humility" we invite peace, love, joy, and gratitude into our life and our relationships. Key Features Patient stories provide the reader with specific examples on the power of humility. Takes readers through the separate steps in identifying humility throughout their lives. Tie in to reissue of Dr. Whitfield's million copy classic Healing the Child Within.
I have read several books by Charles L. Whitfield. I condsider his books the authority on 'Codependence'. This is an excellent extension of the others. I recommend reading 'Healing the Child Within' and 'Co-Dependence: Healing the Human Condition' before reading this book. This an excellent resource for those seeking truth.
More than the title suggests

The books's title promises to help choose peace over conflict in relationships, but it's more than that. It teaches you how to become a more peaceful and enriched person, step by step. When I first started the book and I came across terms like Chakra, triangling, and level 1 conflicts, I thought to myself, "Oh boy, here we go with the psychological babble". However, I found it was worth it to exercise some patience and read on. If you're in an unhealthy relationship, or if you just want to fine tune your life, this is a great guide. Don't try to take all this in in one sitting. There are some complicated concepts in there... but stick with it an find yourself enriched.

The Power of Humility truly reminds us of the power we can attain when we let go and surrender. Clearly describing the stages we go through as we progress spiritually, much was brought into focus and defined. With examples of personal stories and a spectacular explanation of "Spiritual Bypass," I now know more than ever before what we need to do to become closer to Source. This book is a favorite.

I can't express how wonderful a read this book was. I felt like it brought me back to the real me. I wished I'd found it earlier. I'd be a better person, and am because of it. I wish I had enough money to buy a copy for each of my family members and friends. It's that good. I read it, and re-read it immediately a second time. I love this book, and have started reading it to my 9 mos son. Our responsibility in life is to respond with ability. Doing it with humility and leaving the ego aside is where our journey should be guiding us. Buy knowing that you will cherish this book for many reads to come.
